and was chairman of NVSWCD for much of that time.

Supervisor Mendelsohn noted that under Mr. Bond's leadership,
the organization made strides toward protecting and restoring many streams
throughout Northern
Virginia that were
threatened by development.The conservation
district received numerous national awards for a book entitled You and Your Land, for its many volunteer
programs, and for a widely-read newsletter.Mr. Bond is still a member of the State conservation
board and will complete his second term on that board in June.

Therefore, for the spirit of cooperation he
has worked to foster between the Board and the NVSWCD and for his tireless

38.REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF FEESFORWESTCOUNTY
FAMILY SHELTER (SPRINGFIELD DISTRICT)(12:25 p.m.)

Supervisor McConnell said that County staff is in the process of developing
the design for a new West County Family Shelter that is planned to be located
on Lee Highway in the Springfield District. The project will be funded through
a combination of general funds, proffered contributions and funds from the
Housing Trust Fund.

Therefore, Supervisor McConnell moved that the Board waive all application,
review, and approval fees related to all building plans, site plans, and zoning
permits and approvals for this project.Supervisor Connolly and Chairman Hanley jointly
seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous vote.

39.COUNTRY CLUB OF FAIRFAX
(SPRINGFIELD DISTRICT)(12:26 p.m.)

Supervisor McConnell said that the Country Club of Fairfax filed a special
exception amendment application for its property located on Tax Map Parcels
68-1-((1))-17, 18, and 20.The application
proposes to permit site modifications and maintenance improvements to the
existing golf course to allow the replacement of existing facilities with
a new pool facility, a tennis pro shop, fitness/bathhouse building, architectural
revisions to a previously approved golf cart barn and maintenance facility,
expansion of the existing clubhouse building, addition of an outdoor snack
room to an existing structure, and new tennis courts.The case will be heard by the Planning Commission
in January with a Board public hearing date to follow shortly thereafter.To achieve site plan approval and begin construction in a timely manner,
the applicant requests concurrent processing of its site plan with its special
exception amendment application.

Therefore Supervisor McConnell moved that the Board direct the Department
of Public Works and Environmental Services to accept the Country Club of Fairfax
site plan for processing concurrent with its Special Exception Amendment Application
SEA 99-S-012.This motion does not
relieve the applicant from complying with all regulations, ordinances, or
adopted standards, and does not predetermine or prejudice the consideration
of the zoning applications or engineering plans in any way.Supervisor Bulova seconded the motion, which
carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor Connolly being out of the room.

40.EQUITY HOMES (SPRINGFIELD DISTRICT)(12:27 p.m.)

Supervisor McConnell said that on July 31, 2003, Rezoning Application RZ 2000-SU-021 was
approved for Equity Homes to rezone, with proffers, 17.96 acres to the
R-2 Cluster. The generalized development
plan depicted a public street connection to the R-l parcel to the west [Tax
Map 56-2 ((1)) 67 pt]. The thought
at the time was the road would connect through the adjacent R-l parcel to
the west to Robertson Farm, a development approved for single family detached
homes, pursuant to Rezoning Application RZ 2000-SU-050. The street connection would have permitted interparcel
access between the neighborhoods and removed local vehicular trips from Lee
Highway.

Supervisor McConnell said that since the rezoning, 11725 Lee Highway, the owner of the intervening R-l parcel, requested
Special Exception Application SE 2002-SP-O48 to use the site as a child
care center. The center was proposed
to be a part of the shopping center being developed on the C-8 zoned property
to the north. The child care center
was approved by the Board with conditions, including a private street connection
between the child care center and Equity Homes. Equity Homes has since recorded its plans and
has dedicated the right of way for its public streets.

Supervisor McConnell added that Equity Homes dedicated Tax Map 56-2 ((25))
I to FairfaxCounty. Parcel I is located in the area between the public
street right-of-way and the common property line with the child care center.
The child care center was approved
with the condition to construct the interparcel connection to the Equity Homes
development if the necessary easements were provided. In the event the easements were not available,
the child care center would not be required to provide the connection. An easement would need to be granted by the Board
to permit the interparcel connection from the child care center and adjacent
shopping center to the Equity Homes’ development.Supervisor McConnell said the direct vehicular
connection of the retail center to the single family detached development
is not conducive to a suburban neighborhood and would create potential safety
concerns by having retail traffic use the residential streets to potentially
access Lee Highway.

Therefore, Supervisor McConnell moved that the Board prohibit the use
of Tax Map 56-1 ((25)), Parcel I as a street connection by declining to grant
an easement for vehicular access, but to permit the area to be utilized for
pedestrian traffic only.Supervisor
Bulova seconded the motion.

Following a brief discussion, the question was called on the motion, which
carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor Connolly being out of the room.

41.BALL FIELDS
AT POPES HEAD ROAD
(SPRINGFIELD DISTRICT)(12:31 p.m.)

Supervisor McConnell reminded the Board of the
shortage of County ball fields.She
noted that the County purchased land on Popes Head Road from the Virginia Department of Transportation
for the Park Authority for ball fields.That land was set aside for the construction
of the Fairfax
County Parkway, but was not needed.

Citing action by the Park Authority at its recent
meeting regarding possible environmental issues, Supervisor McConnell expressed
concern about the number of ball fields that will be constructed at that site
and the Park Authority’s process.

Following discussion, with input from Michael
Kane, Executive Director, Park Authority, and Anthony H. Griffin, CountyExecutive, Supervisor McConnell moved that the Board
direct staff to reaffirm its position to the Park Authority to maximize the
number of ball fields practicable on the Popes Head assemblage.Supervisor Connolly seconded the motion.

Supervisor McConnell asked unanimous consent
that the Board direct the CountyAttorney to opine on the legality of the changes in
the processes made by the Park Authority Board.Without objection, it was so ordered.

Following further discussion, with input from
Mr. Kane, Chairman Hanley restated the motion as follows: the Board will communicate
with the Park Authority its support for the maximum practicable number of
ball fields that can be put on that site within the constraints of the Park
Authority staff report on wetlands issues.

Following further discussion, the question was
called on the motion, which carried by unanimous vote.

Supervisor
Bulova announced that she had no Board Matters to present today.

43.SWEARING IN
CEREMONY FOR THE NEW BOARD OF SUPERVISORS(12:47 p.m.)

Supervisors Hudgins said that the Dulles Corridor Rapid Transit Project
is an important project for the Dulles Corridor, for residents and businesses
of the Hunter Mill District, the citizens in FairfaxCounty, and the Washington metropolitan region.

Supervisor Hudgins noted that the area west of Tysons Corner to Dulles
International Airport is a major business center for the region and the Commonwealth
with over 120,000 residents, 60,000 plus jobs, 27 million square feet of office
space and 17,000 daily bus riders.Metrorail is needed to ensure the economic vitality
of an area recognized nationally as one of the best locations on the East
Coast to live, work, and play.

Supervisor Hudgins said that the Phase I proposal of the Dulles Corridor
Rapid Transit Project to Wiehle Avenue is the best assurance of rail in the corridor
and through to DullesAirport.

Supervisor Hudgins noted that she represents most of the landowners in
the western portion of the corridor who have expressed concerns about the
tax district and the lack of certainty of the proposed system proceeding to
a Phase II implementation through the corridor and on to DullesAirport.She
said that while everyone recognizes the funding challenges this project and
all transportation projects face, she empathizes with many issues raised by
these landowners.She said that she hopes that LEADER will continue
to work to address the landowners' concerns that are beyond this Board.Last year the Board voiced its commitment for the full implementation
of the 24-mile rail project.

To be clear about what constitutes the definition of this project, Supervisor
Hudgins moved that the Board forward a letter to the federal and State delegations
to request that the language in any federal or State legislation authorizing
funding for the Dulles Corridor Rapid Transit Project describe the total project
as one project extending from the area near the West Falls Church station
to Route 772 in Loudoun County.

Chairman
Hanley seconded the motion.

Chairman Hanley relinquished the Chair to Vice-Chairman
Hyland and asked unanimous consent that the Board also forward the letter
to the Governor.Without objection,

adjacent to the Potomac Square Retail/Office Center, but which is outside

to be signed by the Chairman and forwarded to Fluor-Daniel Corporation:

"The Board is grateful for your presentation this morning and supports
the concept of HOT lanes as a viable option for keeping FairfaxCounty moving.We
recognize that such an innovative approach must be flexible in both funding
and approach.Accordingly, we see the
need for changes to ensure that transit is made a real and integral part of
your proposal.We cannot wait 30 years
for buses to be funded with HOT lane toll revenue.We know you share our desire that any such project
provide the connections necessary to create a transit way linking our rail
and employment centers.

We look forward to seeing changes in your proposal before we consider
it at our next Board meeting."

The second to this motion was inaudible.

Following discussion, Supervisor Mendelsohn
